   We have an electric fireplace that we turn on more for atmosphere than heat. We also have a knotted rug that I made when I was 15 and that returned to me after my mother passed in 2016. Warmth, flickering flames and comfy rug, the purrfect spot for Medb (Maeve) and Loki to lounge upon!

   I was about to suggest the same thing; the puzzle boards (there are several different kinds) really worked well for me when I was jigsawing and the cats were still very very little bouncy kittens!

   I have a print of the three original boys hanging out around their water cooler – framed and everything, hanging on my wall. Makes me smile every time I see it!

   I have the first two panels up on the wall; didn’t think the reaction shots were needed, me!

   (History lesson coming.) Also good to remember is that Guy himself was an immigrant and a Catholic, and his “co-conspirators” were mostly titled Englishmen; his capture, torture and execution was, in part, a scapegoating of the “other” and nowadays no one remembers the names of the other men involved. (History lesson over.)

   Hahaha! Somehow, though, I think present-day JT won’t be following Harper’s advice (though many think he should)….

   Hope he’s better soon and you don’t get it at all, Lady Bri! Chris and I both had Covid in 2022, so mild I was sure it was just a cold except for the positive tests; hope it’s the same for you two!

   Pasties are good, are they not? My father was Cornish and his mother taught my mother how to make them and she taught me. I now have to take a Special Pill (okay, Pepcid) to digest the pastry, so I only make them for a special dinner like Thanksgiving. Roast Beast and Yorkshire Pud being the other traditional meal, also taught to me by my (English) mother – best of both worlds!

   Thanks, Lady Bri! Few Americans know about Canadian T-Day (as an ex-pat American, I surely didn’t know before I moved here), so your comment is especially appreciated! I’m just making Cornish pasties (family recipe) for my husband and myself, no big gathering here, but we’ve got apple turnovers for dessert, yum!

    Deeply, deeply impressed – thank you!
